The Ticket Prices for Mayweather-Hatton are insane

[Thread Stealer]

At stubhub the lowest is around $600....for the CLOSED CIRCUIT TELECAST.

On the links above, the tickets start at $1,200+.

Wow, I knew they'd be pricey, but damn.

[Fab2333]

yup I was actually thinking about going, but once I saw those prices, said nevermind. I will have the best seat in My house though lol. I will order it, call over my friends charge $10 a head 2 watch, order some pizza and wings and chill out.

[Richel Hersisia]

the original prices at ticketmaster were from 100 to 1000. but they were sold out in a few minuts. Now some of them are captured by some sites and they will sell them for ridiculous prices. But we all know some will pay. a

I don't think too many tickets were actually available for sale to the public.

It was probably a pretty small amount. The ticket agents got a lot of them and now they're selling for insane prices.

[He Hate Me]

I think it has gotten to the point where the ticket distribution has to be regulated.

and people think that race and nationality has absolutely nothing to do with boxing....ahhaahaaaahahahhahah

Thank the Promoter of the Fight for this mess. Oscar de la Hoya is the VP Cheney of boxing.

Richard Schaefer is scum.

Richard Schaefer is scum.

This policy is the only thing so far I think GBP is really fucking up. You aren't going to win new fans charging astronomical prices like that, or else negotiating with brokers to give them access to tickets.

It's a joke. That's why I like the Thomas & Mack Center, where it's much more difficult to perpetrate something like that.

Paying $100 for a full day of fights is OK with me, if the main event is great. But no more than that, and ideally less. I watched Morales/Pacquiao II for $50.

I agree. It's absurd. The state commissions need to step in and stop this. The promoters can make a ton of money without extorting fans by going into league with brokers.

Dont agree with the prices by any means, but Superbowl tickets aint cheap either.

Fuck it, I'll be watching PPV with the usual suspects just as plannedand will enjoy it more than being there:good

Very true about the Superbowl, but I think the difference is that the NFL has all the fans it will ever need, while boxing needs to be more fan-friendly in order to remain afloat.

Goldenboy has done some good things for the sport, but this ticket price-fixing threatens to rob the average fan of a live fight experience. And taking a casual fan to a live fight is a great way to convert them into a future ESB poster.

Oh no doubt, GBP has put on some great fights and great events.

I just hate how the ticket sale situations have been for Mayweather-DLH and now Mayweather-Hatton. Small amount for the hardcore fans. Hatton fans are more likely to pay extremely high prices to the agencies (which I think paid high prices to begin with). If you're travelling halfway around the world...might as well spend a lot on a ticket. I wouldn't want to take a trip from England to Vegas to watch a big fight on closed circuit.

That's exactly whom they're counting on to shell out the heavy cash.

I think what concerns me most is that hardcore fans aren't the ones buying the seats -- it's wannabees who show up late and hope to get caught on TV while talking on their cell phones.

Most of us get squeezed out in that scenario.

yup sad too see , Iv seen at least 3 web sites that have gone out of there way to point out that Floyd has had run with the law and the guy we all should root for is Hatton because he's such a swell guy.. This fight has turned to race so much that Im actully thinking of leaving the sport of boxing all together. this shit is weak as hell.

The nationality thing is fine w/me. That's long been a part of boxing.

Skin color....that's another story.

[C Money]

C'mon, this aint a race issue, its a personality ISSUE!

I dont give a fuck about color an asshole is an asshole:good

Mayweather is a very talented ASSHOLE, IMO and it aint shit to do with the color of his skin:nono

This is a huge event and with Hatton's international base?? They are perhaps the ones getting gouged the most.

Fuck all that shit, may the best man win:yep

[allenko1]

Erratic you still pissed. I was in a rage on monday, but now I guess i'll be ok with being shutout for tickets.

I am getting less mad by the day, but still irritated.

It might have something to do with browsing boxing forums at work and seeing "Mayweather-Hatton tickets for sale" on the top of each forum.

I was surprised though by the prices. I expected them to be expensive, but not to the extent that it is now.

[Brickhaus]

Vegas tickets are always more expensive, if for no other reason than because the casinos buy out 1/3 of the tickets before they even go on sale (for comps and whatnot), artificially decreasing the pool of available tickets. Plus, if someone has a good weekend there, then they can afford the tickets.

I just got my Cotto-Mosley tickets - $200 a pop, and I get to actually sit in MSG :lol:
